Imagine Elliot Smith hanging out with Tom Petty in the back of Neil Young’s van while listening to Sparklehorse. Acid-laced pop Sunfields is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Jason Kent. Although the quartet was born in 2009, three quarters of its members have been playing music on and off together since they were teens. Their tunes carry a classy bombast of chamber rock, the intimacy of a singer songwriter, and the easy-breeziness of vintage pop with some psychedelic undertones thrown in.
SUNFIELDS just released their fourth album, Late Bloomers, which was made in isolation. It’s a melodic retrospective inspired by Kent’s formative years and all the baggage that goes with it.
Since their formation, Sunfields have toured extensively throughout Canada and Europe. Their fourth album is out now.
